On January 22, 2014, the Board authorized the parties to file a joint request to terminate and to file the settlement agreement as business confidential under 37 C.F.R. 42.74(c). Paper 11. The parties filed the joint motion to terminate pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317 on January 27, 2014. Paper 12. Accompanying the motion, the parties filed a true copy of a settlement agreement along with a joint request to treat the settlement agreement as business confidential, to be kept separate from the patent file pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74. Paper 13; Ex. 1008. A decision by the Board to institute a trial was entered on December 30, 2013. Paper 9. This matter, however, is in its preliminary stages.

Hitachi Cable America Inc., et al., Case No. 1:12-cv-1724 (S.D. Ind.), be dismissed with prejudice. Under these circumstances, the Board determines that it is appropriate to enter judgment and terminate the trial without rendering a final written decision. 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
